Rambla del mar in Barcelona
August 2018

One of my favorite places in Barcelona is la rambla del mar, particularly during sunset. During the summer of 2018 I had the opportunity to visit the city for a couple of days, after attending a wedding in Madrid. The weather was amazing and after a good walk that started in the Plaza de Catalunya I ended up in this place that is really beautiful.
I walk around the place walking by the acuarium and the parks nearby, but before I returned to the hotel, I noticed th sun was starting to go down and I was able to shot a couple of nice pictures, including this one.
St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Sofia
November 2016

Sofia is one the most intersting eastern European capitals. The area had human population sinc the year 7000 BC, so it means a lot of different cultures and religions passed through this land.
St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, is one the most remarkable ones. This Orthodox church cathedral built in a Neo-Byzantine style, is one of the largest ones of its kind in eastern Europe.
I had the opportunity to visit sofia in the Autumn of 2016 and I really like this city that I would love to visit again.
Malta’s Capital City
June 2016

Malta was on my list of those interesting places I always wanted to visit in Europe. This tiny Island is in the middle of the mediterranean sea has a fascinanting history, since it was in the past, a crossroad between Africa and Europe.
The Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Sicilians, French and British were involved in the Island at a certain point and this created a very unique and distinctive place, but the legacy of the Order of Saint John, who ruled the place as a vassal state of the Kingdom of Sicily from 1530 to 1798 is clearly present on the architecture and culture of the country.
In June of 2016 I have the opportunity to visit the Island and I stayed mainly on the capital Valetta, a beautiful harbour city that preserves much of its 16th century architectural heritage.
Visiting the only lighthouse in Bavaria
September 2016

In september of 2016 we made a roadtrip with K and visited Lindau, a major town and an island on the eastern side of Lake Constance. We stayed at a hotel in the Island that’s connected with the mainland by a road-traffic bridge.
The current harbour of this island was built in 1856 and the iconic Lion sculpture and lighthouse mark the entrance of this port. An interesting fact is that this lighthouse is the only one in Bavaria!
I published some additional pictures of Lindau in my juanpics domain.
Daytrip to Poznan
May 2015

A couple of weeks ago I made day trip to Poznan from Berlin. There is a train leaving from the Ostbahnhoff station and arriving in Poznan glowny 3 hours later. Once I got there I started to walk towards the city center and on the way there I found a place selling Pizza that had an amazing margherita, yummy!
I visited the central square and I thought it was beautiful with the old buildings around it, including the renaissance old town hall. There were many ice cream places, bars and restaurants. In the information center they recommended me to visit Ostrów Tumski, an island between the two branches of the river Warta. This island used one of the main political centres in the early Polish state and now it's possible to visit the cathedral that houses some ruins from that era in the subterranean crypt. Very interesting city.
